Fans of Disney’s Frozen franchise have created hilarious memes that focus on the strength and relatability of the stories and characters. Frozen and Frozen 2 follow the adventures of Elsa — a royal born with extraordinary ice powers — her sister Anna, and their sentient snowman buddy Olaf. During the movies, they go through emotional arcs that deepen their sibling relationship. Both Frozen films succeeded at the box office and gained high ratings, becoming modern Disney classics.
The success of the franchise is largely because Frozen rewrote the Disney animated movie rule book, pushing the production company in a positive direction. The storylines and dialogue feel fresh and complex, focusing on character growth and familial bonds. Frozen and Frozen 2 both incorporate more serious topics in a child-appropriate way. All these elements of the movie franchise allowed fans to create memorable and hilarious memes that still provide laughs years later.
12 Kristoff’s Family Of Rocks
When Kristoff introduces Anna and Olaf to his family in Frozen, they first look like a pile of rocks instead of trolls. Anna and Olaf have bewildered expressions because they don’t know how to handle the situation. @ZingPopCulture shared a hilarious meme on Twitter that ties this Frozen moment to a pop culture icon. The image pastes cutouts of actor and wrestler The Rock’s smiling face on top of the stones. This change makes the image both funnier and creepier.
11 The People Of Arendelle Want To Sleep
One of the funniest and most unrealistic elements of Disney movies is that the characters sing at random without much regard for time or place. This trope is exemplified in Frozen 2 during the song “Into The Unknown.” @MagicallyAly posted a meme to Twitter that shows Elsa singing on the balcony with the caption, “Elsa, thinking it’s acceptable to sing in the middle of the night.” Underneath, it shows a photo of Bert from Sesame Street lying in bed with an angry expression, representing the people of Arendelle. His face says it all: it’s extremely annoying to wake up in the middle of the night due to unruly neighbors.
10 Thoughts Elsa Wishes She Could Forget
Everybody does regrettable things that they wish they could forget, and Elsa’s no exception. Though the song was initially beloved, people played “Let It Go” so often that it’s now considered annoying. Frozen 2 makes fun of this when Elsa winces and puts her hand up, blocking her view of the ice sculpture memory. This meme takes it a step further by adding the words “me trying to sleep at 3 am” to Elsa and “the cringy thing I did 7 years ago” to the ice sculpture. This acknowledges that the memories often hit late at night when people are trying to sleep.
9 Frozen 2 Spoiler Without Context
Spoiling a movie in the weeks after it’s released is considered a faux pas. When Disney released Frozen 2, memes started circulating that provided spoilers out of context. This allowed some fans to appreciate the sequel’s funniest moments while respecting those who hadn’t seen it yet. @DisneyBrini shared one of the funniest spoilers out of context. The picture is of the Samantha American Girl doll with her book titled Meet Samantha. In Frozen 2, Olaf gets lost and starts shouting out his friends’ names, then adds in Samantha. This becomes a running gag throughout the movie.
8 Adults Watching Frozen 2
Good family movies make jokes that resonate with the adults in the theater without being inappropriate for children. Frozen 2 does this well when Olaf sings the line, “When you’re older, absolutely everything makes sense.” Although kids may believe otherwise, adulthood doesn’t make sense. People typically learn how little they know about the world around them when they mature. As shown in this meme by @ArtOfKace, adults in the audience reacted to this line with amusement and disbelief.
7 The Frozen And Star Wars Crossover
Pop culture franchises frequently make intentional references to each other. However, sometimes fans pick up on funny coincidences. Savannah Ileese Pederson posted a meme to Pinterest that pointed out the parallels between Frozen and Star Wars. In the movie Frozen, Prince Hans’ backstory pushes him to make an attempt for the Arendelle throne, with plans to marry Anna and kill Elsa. Hans looks earily similar to the Star Wars sequel trilogy’s General Hux, who works for the Dark Side under the command of Kylo Ren. It’s easy to imagine Hans turning to the dark side if added to the other Disney franchise.
6 Olaf Tells It Like It Is
In Frozen 2, Elsa responds to the siren voice by singing that everyone she loves exists inside the walls of the palace. However, this feels disingenuous and strange because Elsa is standing right in front of a painting of her with Anna and her mother. A dark-humored meme posted to Reddit addresses this flaw in logic by making Olaf respond to Elsa. Given Olaf’s bluntness, it’s easy to imagine him pointing out that her parents are, in fact, at the bottom of the ocean instead of just saying they aren’t there.
5 Kristoff Being A Little Too Confident
Reddit user u/Yavandor posted a hilarious meme that centers around Kristoff’s song in Frozen 2. When talking with Ryder, Kristoff asserts that he knows the woods well. This makes sense given that his character spends a lot of time traveling across the land on a sled. However, one scene later, he sings a power ballad about being lost in the woods. While the song “Lost in the Woods” is technically about him not knowing which way to go without Anna, the literal words paint a funny picture when held up against his previous statement.
4 When The Cold Bothers Her Anyway
In colder climates, the weather can change from sunny to snowy overnight. It’s easy, when a person lives in these environments for a long time, to think that the cold isn’t bothersome. However, this can quickly change when they take a step outside. This Frozen meme posted to Pinterest embodies this experience. People start out as Elsa in her ice castle and quickly become Anna after she slips down the snow bank into the river.
3 Singing Along To The Frozen Soundtrack
On Twitter, @JonasCheungFast posted a meme that’s extremely relatable for the average person. Though Disney songs sound simple and catchy, they can be challenging to sing. The animation company is excellent at finding this balance of simplicity and skill. Moreover, not everybody has the vocal tone or skills necessary to sound like a Disney princess. As such, a person may think they sing like Elsa from Frozen but come out sounding more like Scuttle from The Little Mermaid. That being said, people should still sing if it brings them joy, regardless of how they sound.
2 Frozen Play On Words
The Disney fandom is known for making puns out of the locations, characters, and titles of Disney animated movies. Frozen provided a prime opportunity for this because the title is already a word with multiple meanings. In this video meme, a person says they planned to watch a movie on their computer, but it was frozen — as in, not functioning. At this point, they showed the screen that had the movie Frozen loaded. Then, they thought it would be okay because they could watch it on their TV, but then that was frozen too. At this point, they turned the camera to the TV screen, which had Frozen 2 loaded.
1 When An Author Breaks Anna’s Heart
In Frozen, Elsa seemingly rejects Anna, to which she responds, “What did I ever do to you?” This moment shows the heartbreak, betrayal, and hurt that Anna feels at the start of the movie. A Facebook meme by Cambio points out that Anna’s feeling is common for people who become mentally invested in a good book. Readers take it personally when an author kills their favorite character, asking the same question as Anna in Frozen.
